Doing What Comes Natural

What comes natural to you?  Of course, it would depend on what context one was speaking.  You come upon an emergency where your neighbor’s house is on fire.…what comes natural for you to do?

• Go on, for you are on a schedule?
• Stop and see if you can help?
• Go over to the house, hollering their names to make sure they are alright?
• Go in to see if you can see anyone?
• Call 911 before you find out anything, for you just want to help?
• All of the above?
• None of the above?

We all have situations in which we will do what comes natural to you.  Each one of us is different.  We all do things differently.  That doesn’t necessarily make us wrong, just different.

What about if that scenario wasn’t as tangibly life threatening?  Then, how’d you react?  Think about this…your neighbor’s soul is about to catch on fire, what will you do?  What comes natural for you?

• Go on, for you are on a schedule?
• Stop and see if you can help?
• Go over to the person, making sure they are alright?
• Hope someone else is asking them about their soul?
• Send a “911” prayer before you find out anything, for you just want to help?
• All of the above?
• None of the above?

This “natural” thing that you do may not have any helpful effect on them at all.  They may end up “burning” because you didn’t do anything.  However, we all have natural abilities that can help save someone.  In I Peter 4:10-11 we find that Peter is wanting his recipients to do what comes natural to save people.

We all have some type of natural ability or talent that can be used to share Him with others. If you like to eat, then use a meal as a catalyst to share Him.  If you like to text, use that.  If you like to visit personally, use that.  If you like to fix cars, use that.  If you like to write creatively, use that.  If you like to play sports, use that…the list could go on and on and on.

We just need to do what comes naturally to you and do that!
